Serving Bristol Since 1959

The Lions of Bristol have been in dedicated service since 2 November, 1959. We began our service to communities of Bristol as the 'Bristol Evening' Lions Club and though there have been a few changes over the years, our presence has never faded. The Bristol Twin Cities Lions Club is honored and dedicated to the unwavering service of our community and the world. Check out some of our wonderful volunteers doing what they do best, serving our community!
